Furman to visit LSU in 2013

Greenville, SC (Sports Network) - There's no easy opponent sandwiched between
the Furman football team's Southern Conference games against Appalachian State
and Georgia Southern in 2013.

Between those different games is an even tougher game, a visit to Death Valley
to take on LSU.

The stretch of games is part of a 12-game schedule announced by Furman on
Thursday.

The Oct. 26 game against LSU is the first-ever meeting between the programs.
Furman also will play non-conference games against three Big South schools, at
Gardner-Webb (Aug. 31) and Coastal Carolina (Sept. 7) and against Presbyterian
(Sept. 14) at home.

Within the SoCon, Furman will host Elon (Oct. 5), Appalachian State (Oct. 19),
Samford (Nov. 9) on Homecoming and Wofford (Nov. 23). The Paladins hold a
51-28-7 lead in the series against Wofford, which began in 1889 and is the
oldest in state history.

Furman will play SoCon games at The Citadel (Sept. 28), Chattanooga (Oct. 12),
Georgia Southern (Nov. 2) and Western Carolina (Nov. 16).

The Paladins are coming off a 3-8 record in coach Bruce Fowler's second season.
